DAY 3

Visible to anyone in the world

Okay it's now 10:30am and i am ready to start today's work. After yesterday i have realised i should not set my goals the day before as it can set me up to fail.


TODAYS GOALS

  1. COMPLETE BOOK 1 PART 2
  2. SET UP PRINTER
  3. PRINT OFF FORMS FOR STUDENT FINANCE
  4. POST APPLICATION AND BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO STUDENT FINANCE


Goals set so time to start !


NEW WORDS LEARNT

  • Exponent- a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression (e.g. 3 in 2<sup>3</sup> = 2 × 2 × 2).
  • Gigaflops (gflop) - a unit of computing speed equal to one thousand million floating-point operations per second.
  • Teraflops (tflop)- a unit of computing speed equal to one million million (10<sup>12</sup>) floating-point operations per second.
  • Miasma - an unpleasant or unhealthy smell or vapour.

Okay today is done spent around 190 minutes reading over material i read a few moths back to catch up. Tomorrow i will focus on part 3 which is all online material and then i should be ready to do my assignment which will lead me almost up to speed with the deadlines so by the start of next week i can calm down and enjoy the course more smile.

I feel a lot more relaxed now and feel i have worked out that i am working at twice the average speed, when i am all caught up i can do the work twice which will help me to retain the information.

Day 2

Visible to anyone in the world

well today was not as productive as yesterday has had 2 appointments to attend which messed up my routine. I feel happy that i am still trying though as normally i will just give up when i feel like this, so some progress!

Tomorrow i will work the way i did yesterday as i felt this was productive for me.

The spray diagrams i was introduced to today do not help me at all so i will ignore them and use what is best for me.
